50 Day Study Plan To Score 90% Marks in CDS/ CDS OTA English Paper
A very common question that a CDS/ CDS OTA aspirant asks is whether it could be possible for him/ her to complete the entire English syllabus in a comfortable time span before the D-Day. My answer is YES! It is absolutely possible to do so if you follow a very constructive and a planned study and revision timetable for it. English in competitive exams is a very underestimated subject that students aim to grasp at the very end of all other subjects. What they don’t understand is that English is easy to understand and grasp if ample attention and a little interest is shown to it. It can fetch you the highest score with very little effort and regular practice. So, here you go!

CDS/ CDS OTA Study Timetable
Only completing the syllabus by understanding and studying the English grammar and vocabulary concepts is not enough. The most important thing that students often forget is that without a REGULAR REVISION they will forget all the complex grammatical rules, English words and their meanings, etc. and end up scoring lesser than they had thought. Thus a thorough and repeated revision is needed especially after you have completed the topics in CDS/ CDS OTA English. For this, the shortcut is to download the pdf study materials provided with each lecture in English and go through them, and only revisit the lectures if you need further clarity or explanation of a part you missed. The most significant part of the English syllabus in CDS/ CDS OTA is the Revision and like the the Study Timetable you also need an organized Time schedule for the Revision of the English Topics.
